Details from our communication on March 12...

Sapulpa Public Schools Superintendent Rob Armstrong announced March 15 that if the state legislature does not resolve the funding crisis in public education by the April 1 deadline, he will suspend schools beginning April 2.

The decision to suspend schools, if necessary, was made after conducting an internal survey with the district’s teachers and support staff to determine what their plans were on April 2. More than 91 percent of Sapulpa Public Schools teachers and support staff responded that they will participate in walking out and calling on state leadership in Oklahoma City to increase public education funding.

“With this information, I now know we will be unable to provide our students with the satisfactory instructional time and supervision that is part of their daily routine if the deadline isn’t met,” said Armstrong.

During the school board meeting on March 12, the Sapulpa Board of Education authorized Armstrong to suspend schools for up to 25 days if he deemed it necessary to ensure the safety of the students and the fiscal integrity of the district.

“I hope state leadership steps up and we aren’t out any days. However, the board and I strongly support our teachers in their right to peacefully address the state legislators in Oklahoma City for increased educational funding,” said Armstrong.

The decision to end the suspension and reopen schools has not been made. When that date is determined it will be announced on our website, our Facebook page, and our Twitter page.
